Dave Barry's Blog: LEGAL TACTIC OF THE WEEK SO FAR

A suspected California bank robber reached into his pocket while on the witness stand, pulled out a handful of his own feces and ate them, grossing out everyone else in the courtroom.

"Gilbertson said the Virgin Mary commanded him to eat his own excrement..."

Well, anyone who's seen Pink Flamingos knows that eating feces is a Divine act.

Andrew Gilbertson said the Virgin Mary commanded him to eat his own excrement...

Note for future: When someone tells you to "Eat S***," that's probably a general expression of disagreement, not a specific command.

[Doesn't sound right, does it?]

Disclaimer: Thank you remembering He was innocent until proven guilty even if He pulled out a handful of his own feces and ate it. Thank you for serving as a juror on this case. If you left vomit in the deliberation room, we thank you for your consideration of everyone in the courtroom. You are free to continue vomiting...I mean leave.
